JW Marriott, Anaheim Resort

The JW Garden

Rooted in Marriott family tradition, the JW Garden is inspired by JW’s founder J. Willard Marriott who took daily nature walks, along with his wife Alice, who grew fruits, vegetables and herbs for her legendary Sunday night dinners. Today, we grow fresh produce and herbs in our own JW Garden, which are used in recipes, cocktails, oils, and more. At the JW Marriott, Anaheim Resort we believe that a connection to the natural environment is a necessary part of nourishing one’s soul. From sourcing fresh ingredients to guiding explorations of the landscape, we strive to honor the natural environment and bring the outside inside.

Be Together.

Thrive in the heart of our haven. The JW Garden invites you to connect with fellow guests and rediscover the simple joys. Imagine yourself assisting our talented chefs, harvesting fresh herbs for an inspired meal, or sharing laughter with loved ones during engaging family programs. Here, sustainability flourishes alongside vibrant life, reminding us to be present, nourish our well-being, and most importantly, connect with one another.

Be Nourished.

Embracing locally sourced and pollinator-friendly plants, the JW Garden is our pledge to sustainability at JW Marriott, Anaheim Resort, delivering fresh, garden-to-table ingredients for your delight.

Cocktails with a Purpose

Meet Miles and Matilda

One of the most mysterious and remarkable migration in the natural world takes place each year. Matilda and Miles are two adventurous Monarch butterflies on a mission for an epic aerial journey home traveling 3,000 miles from Canada and United States to Mexico in their quest to find the perfect place to rest and lay eggs. Along the way, they rely on special plants—like milkweed—to survive. At JW Marriott, Anaheim Resort, our Pollinator Garden is a safe haven for butterflies like Matilda and Miles, helping them complete their journey and keep their species thriving.

Our serene space is a space intentionally designed for guests to pause, live in the present, and appreciate every moment.
